Mechanistic modulation of macromolecular interactions between modified cellulose and myofibrillar protein under low salt conditions: effects on gel properties.
The effects and mechanisms of methylcellulose (MC), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) on myofibrillar protein (MP) gelation at 0.3 M NaCl were investigated. Results showed that all celluloses enhanced the hardness, springiness, and water-holding cap...
